  direction, i.e. lower temperature and reduced rainfall (colder and drier) as well as higher temperature and increased rainfall (warmer and wetter) are more likely than the two variables changing in opposite directions. • The position of the individual simulations and the shaded area, displaced up

• Temporary breaching of 1.5C in next five years?

  indicated that there was a 40% chance of the temperature temporarily exceeding 1.5°C between 2021-2025.  Paris Agreement Dr Leon Hermanson, of the Met Office, led today’s report. He said: “Our latest climate predictions show that continued global temperature rise will continue, with an even chance

• World’s oceans capturing unrelenting climate change

  on this year’s report he said: “By measuring Earth’s surface temperature since 1850 we know that 2021 was one of the six hottest years since records began. However, natural variations including planetary cycles – such as the temporary cooling of the tropical Pacific during the recent La Niña event – can

• Our changing weather patterns: a tale of abrupt transitions

  across the UK and into continental Europe. This pattern is characteristically described as a block; when the atmosphere gets ‘stuck’ for long periods of time. Paul Davies is the Met Office’s Principal Meteorologist. He said: “Against this backdrop, the tropical Atlantic is very warm. Sea temperatures

• Temperatures to build across the week, peaking on Thursday

  at Horsham, Tunbridge Wells and Regent’s Park.   High temperatures but heatwave unlikely Deputy Chief Meteorologist Michael Silverstone said: “We are experiencing a brief very warm or even hot spell, which isn’t abnormal for the time of year. However, if we reach 30°C on Thursday, 1st May

• Extreme weather reveals changing climate

  By comparing different meteorological reference periods, a number of interesting trends can be observed. For example, the hottest day of each year over the most recent decade (2008-2017) in the UK has been on average 0.8 °C warmer than the hottest day of each year over the period 1961-1990

• Global humidity reached record levels in 2024, says latest climate report

  As the atmosphere continues to warm, the amount of moisture a parcel of air can contain also rises. This moisture content is recorded as humidity, which when combined with rising temperature can pose a significant threat of heat stress to communities. Near the surface, specific humidity
